   Fencer Misaki Emura and breakdancer Shigeyuki Nakarai, whose stage name is Shigekix, who both carried Japan's flag in the opening ceremony, attended an event to donate items for the exhibition.
   Emura provided a sword and gloves and Nakarai clothing for the exhibition, which will run until Dec. 15.
   Emura said the sword is "a very memorable item" because it has messages of encouragement on it.
